Abstract
The objective of this research was to conduct a participatory development processusing problem-based non-formal learning to enhance restorative conflict resolution skills for juveniles in slums. The methodology consisted of four steps, namely, 1) a needs survey of conflicting parties involving people, reflection and discussion, 2) selection of a conflict resolution method, 3) observation, and 4) evaluation. The participants in this study consistedof a pair of conflicting juveniles, as well as 9 other people, namely friends, community members and 6 community leaders. The setting comprised the Wat Pho Riang and Wat Amphawa communities in Bangkok. The results of this study indicate that the pair of juveniles that were in conflict and involving people was able to change their attitudes, share experiences, and collaborate to achieve goals by being open-minded. Thus, they had a chance to experience self-change. The researcher then synthesized results from the process. This process was based on beliefs in the potential of juveniles in slums to learn methods for changing themselves to achieve conflict self-resolution. The learning process consisted of five steps, as follows: 1) Critical reflective practice, 2) Creative planning, 3) Understandable communication,4) Participatory change, and 5) Conclusions. Factors affecting the employing of this process include factors supporting locations, equipment and time.
